day 59 .... killing fields

from 1975-79 the khmer rouge ruled cambodia through terror and genocide. the scars of this insanity are anything but forgotten
killing fields memorial... one of many throughout the country
within lies the piled remains of the thousands
each removed from the shallow graves just outside
at S21 (a high school turned prison) the pictures of those detained, tortured, and killed
are made public.
prior to execution each person was photographed and required to write their own biography.
crude holding cells replaced desks.
classroom walls torn open for detainment
